    I still don't have the latest Messenger update after almost a month (Specifically, the chat effects). What should I do?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 05:49 AM PST

    Last month (or prolly weeks before), messenger released their chat effects option where you can put fire effect of gift wrpaped effect on your chats. I badly wanted to do that as well but as i checked I don't have it. I checked playstore byt it says that my app is already updated. I tried to uninstall and install messenger but still don't have it. I tried to install latest messenger from websites offering apks of it but still didn't have it. Literally everyone I talk to in messenger has it except me.

    Is there any way to backup RCS messages?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 10:45 AM PST

    I'm back on Android after a couple years stuck in the fruity kingdom.
    When I last used an Android phone, RCS was still pretty new, and hadn't been rolled out yet.
    I'd like to enable it to get higher-quality media messaging with my other android friends, but I remember reading a while back that there was no way to back up RCS messages (I must back up my messages for my work), and the RCS API wasn't available to any third parties.

    Does anyone know if this has changed? Are there any alternate messaging apps (that have a backup feature) that support RCS?

    Thanks :)

    A policeman snatched the phone from my hand and cancelled the video I was making. Is it possible to recover it?

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 01:42 PM PST

    A policeman accused me of disrespect, so I started recording with a cell phone to protect myself. But another police officer grab the phone out of my hand and canceled the video I was making. Is it possible to recover it? I tried with the programs video recovery and mobi saver, but it didnt work.

    Update: I managed to recover part of the video using MobiSaver, but the last part of the video that shows the officer taking it out of my hand isnt there. I guess its lost forever. Is it possible to recover this last part?

    Any way to prevent apps/windows from repositioning when swiping between them?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 10:14 AM PST

    When swiping between 2 or more apps, I would swipe left to get to one window, then I would swipe right to get back to the first one just to find out it was moved to the left. Is there any way to prevent this behavior? I am running Havoc-OS based on Android 10 on my Oneplus 7 pro. I have the device rooted. If any of you know anything I can do, I would love to hear it.

    Galaxy S10 keeps vibrating. Caused by the 'Accessibility' app - how to make it stop?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 02:24 AM PST

    I have a Galaxy S10 running stock Android. The past few weeks it has started vibrating without any obvious cause.

    I downloaded the 'Nice Catch' app to log the apps causing vibrations. This is the log from the Vibration history in Nice Catch . I'm not sure why it is doing this or what is actually causing it.

    Any tips on how to investigate the root cause further or just make it stop?

    Thanks.

    Developer Options Animation Scale settings reverting back to default

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 08:22 AM PST

    I turned off my phone's Window Animation Zoom, Transition Animation Scale, and Animator Duration Scale. But for some reason, the Window Animation Zoom and Transition Animation Scale would always revert back to 1x overnight and randomly during the day.

    This also happens on my old phone. Any idea what is causing this?

    Which apps can use the SD card

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 07:05 AM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I can't believe that this is not tracked somehow, I spent lots of time searching and I am unable to find an answer:

    How can you determine whether an app can be installed on SD card, or is it going to force itself into internal storage? Is there a list of such "SD-compatible" apps?...

    I haven't even run out of internal storage, it's just that I have this huge SD card and I want to be able to take advantage of it. Quite often, even when the "Move to SD" option is available, I find that it ends up moving 200 MB out of 3.5 GB. I know that it's purely developer's choice so I don't see why is this information not available.

    Any advice would be appreciated,

    Help with phone weird audio problem

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 06:07 AM PST

    I have a Samsung a71 and it's fine, except for one problem. I don't remember when it started, but it happens with every earpiece, including Bluetooth devices. When using any type of earpiece(Bose soundsport, Airpods, Razor headset etc) my phone seems to play media unevenly, with the left side playing louder. The sound quality is worse, but that could be in my head. At first I thought it was the earpiece to I tried different ones and had the same issue. Made sure that the ones I used were fine with my laptop. Its not the left/right sound balance setting either, so it has to my phone or I'm losing my mind.

    Any help, suggestions, questions or anything else would be highly appreciated.

    Storage issues- cleared up 10Gb of pictures and apps, 30 minutes later my 'system' part of storage jumped from 26Gb to 35Gb

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 05:42 AM PST

    My storage on my Nokia 6.1 (64Gb rom) was getting full so I made space, but 30 minutes later it was full again. I checked, and noticed the 'System' part (which I can't seem to do anything with) had gone up 10Gb. I didn't do any system updates in that time. Can I do anything about this?

    Impossibile to format text on Telegram on Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 05:06 AM PST

    Hi everyone! I've just bought a Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite (still don't know if it's 5G or not, the box says 5G but I've bought the non 5G version on Amazon so I'm confused but that's not the topic) and I'm loving it.

    The problem is that whenever I use Telegram and try to change a text to bold or italics or whatever I can't, because the contextual menu (don't know if it's the right name, but in the only other post I've found they called it that way), the menu that let you copy, paste and whatever, doesn't shows the three dots that you use on Telegram to format a text.

    Does anyone knows how to solve the problem? I use bold and italics a lot and I'd like to do it on my new phone :(

    Thanks everyone in advance 💜

    Noob question about USB charging cables/connecting to PC

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 05:01 AM PST

    My phone came with a charger that is USB-C on both ends. I was hoping to plug it into my computer to transfer some files from my PC to my phone, but my computer has no USB-C slot, only USB-A slots. I think I have a USB-C USB-A connector from my old phone, just wondering if they are interchangeable or if I have a chance of causing any damage to my phone or computer, as it's not the cable that came with the phone. No doubt a silly question. Thanks!

    Galaxy S8 factory reset - pattern known - Google and Samsung passwords unknown

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 04:58 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    I've just repaired a broken Galaxy S8 (very proud atm because I needed to change display, battery and backcover) and now I want to factory reset it. After unlocking the google pattern it asks me to login to the samsung account which I don't know the password of. Security patch is from October 2019. Any chances to reset this?

    best new to android youtubes? mom got me android tablet but i've no idea how to use this thing - first android machine

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 11:39 PM PST

    any best new to android youtubes?

    anything like this? with the table of contents that's on here

    > support.apple. com/guide/iphone/welcome/ios

    never used a phone before

    only used computer windows 10

    some problems on the tablet so far are:

    1. it takes too long to 'undim' after it 'wakes'
    2. how to make it never need to 'wake'
    3. no idea how to do any of the basic stuff cos it's so differnt from computer
    4. when you uninstall apps, on desktops oses, apps leave behind residual + other garbage of the apps you uninstall, so you need to use a good uninstaller app to uninstall stuff -- do you need a good uninstaller on iphone & android also?
      1. if so what's best uninstaller and why it's best? there's all these garbage apps that came with iphone
    5. what app is good to install to see list of All apps and open them that way ?
      1. that would be the best way to open apps
    6. an app that lists all apps by most frequently used to least is best
    7. ss

    in settings, there's a 'screen timeout' but there's no option i see for 'never' or 'OFF'

    how do we make it never turn off cos that's what i want + need

    Is there a way to bypass the mini version of Chrome?

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 11:37 PM PST

    The one that opens when you open a web link from most apps and then you have to pull down in the top right and tap "open in browser" i just find it annoying to search for different things and then have to do even more after to bookmark and also it doesn't have your logins left in it

    So i installed an APK (Monopoly) of a site. I Know I shouldn't of but I wanted to test the game before uninstalling the apk and buying through the play store. I uninstalled the apk and deleted the apk from my device and bought the app through the play store, however it won't install and i am met with an error, further more i tried re-installing the apk and that doesn't work. it only is happening with monopoly, downloaded some other games for my road trip which work fine. ​ I have tried everything online (resetting app permissions, looking for a hidden folder the apk may of created, clearing cache etc) and still cannot install.

    Open Source Or Trackerless Voice Changer For Calls?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 12:14 AM PST

    I've tried Voicesmith on F-Droid. It wouldn't let me activate it. Reason I'm asking is I'm in a particular Discord server where I need to call from my phone, but I want to remain anonymous. I'm on Android 9, on a Moto Z(2).

    Antivirus Recommendation

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 03:11 AM PST

    inb4 - Bad English

    Hello!

    So, i'm looking for any real good antivirus or virus scanner or any tips to see if my android device are safe.

    I Have an Moto G6(PLAY) and last week i opened a Facebook post of Gamestop and spend some time reading the news and suddenly my chrome opened and automatically downloaded a file. I freaked out and immediately Hard Reseted my phone, but i dont know if it's really safe.

    I downloaded Malwarebytes and Kaspersky, but neither of them are finding anything and saying that my smartphone is safe, but weird things are happening like today some like that i didn't remember copying in my clipboard history.

    Probably I'm just paranoid, but just to be safe.

    Any advice or recommendation?

    Thanks in advance! :B

    And sorry if it's not the place to asking for this kind of help.
